If ur getting a b16 engine for cheap then go for that, but me personally would just skip all the little B.s. pop an H22 in there and call it a day. Theyre not that much more $$. Thats just me though. I think its time to be different. Everyone has a B16a powered civic these days, Im more for even a B18C - Type R or something - everyone has a B16 these days though. My Favortie would def be the H22. You could also do LS Vtec or LS Turbo ... but w/e6thgencupe38113.5758101852

Hi I am new here...sorry I don't mean to post this in your forum topic but the layout of this website is sooo busy...I feel overwhelmed.

I just bought a 2000 civic like 6 days ago. Anyone here with the same year?

Oh I have an LX model

Don't add any engine modifications to the DX engine especially with that much mileage. It's not worth it. It will still be slow. DX body is light, very light which is great. Save your money & get the B18C engine for your car. You don't need the JDM B18C, the USDM B18C5 will be good enough.

My suggestion, if you really want to upgrade something on your car right now, go for the suspension upgrade first. Coil over & camber kit are great to do for now. Good set of tires are also another thing you can do to improve performance.

I agree. I think the suspension is always a good place to start.

I agree with H22 but it's kind of risky cause they tend to break axles cause they have so much power and the stock axles on the civic can't handle it. I know 2 guys who this happened to.

About the swap I would swap any B-series in there like asap if you have the money. Idealy a LS-Vtec. But if your budget is not too big stick with the B16 and go for that cheap deal. Good luck mang!

I dont know about all that... they are good engines, but they dont have that kinda torque.
